GOODBYE.

THIS BLOG HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN ABANDONED.

Just when I say I'm going to keep posting, I abandon the blog.
I know what you're thinking: IRIS, QUIT BEING SO UNRELIABLE, OR I'LL SMASH YOU TO A PULP!!


Well, if you ever forgive me, go to irisonastick.wordpress.com, and bring lots and lots of chocolate.

Goodbye.

Signing off this blog for the very last time;;

••IRIS!!

oh god;;

So nothing interesting has happened.


Okay, things happened.
I just have this annoying little piece of me that is so interested in one thing that after a few weeks, it's just like "Whatever," and then it walks off with its hands in its pockets looking all scary and bad.

So here I am with my deserted blog, while that little piece of me (I think I'll name him Joe) is off eating out of garbage cans.

But school has started, and there are a gazillion things to write about that would be at least mildly entertaining, but Joe is spilling the garbage he's eating all over my brain, and I can't think of anything.

o_O.

Maybe I'll rant about something entirely random, or maybe I'll just tell you what happened since this blog mysteriously stopped being updated.

I think the second one sounds good.

Well, you wouldn't believe how excited I was that school was starting. It's not healthy.
At least I have all the essentials this year--a cool new pencil case because the old one was dirty, fancy 2-in-1 white-out, and an expensive binder that you can write on and then erase it with a special eraser. Because you know how you'll get bad grades if your binder's ugly.

And right after we bought those things and left Staples, we went to Safeway and...

*drumroll*

...I ACTUALLY WON SOMETHING!

I opened up one of those thingies they give you afer you buy stuff, and it was all, "YOU WIN!"
After nearly having a heart attack, I looked down at the bottom for my prize, and guess what I won?

A LITTLE BACKPACK THAT SAYS SAFEWAY ON IT!

My mom says it's the start of a winning streak. o_o'

So, school started, and our class was reunited for a week before being separated into the evil clutches of our new teachers.
Since Tuesday, I have been hit by a flying kickball, bored out of my mind, forced to write a song about healthy eating, and put in extreme pain.

The last one was obviously the product of an enthusiastic gym teacher. >.>

On Monday, we will sit at our desks and watch someone read off the names of who will go into each class.
And then we will be forced to accept our fate.

If Ada, Dany, and Amy all get into one class without me, I will scream.

On a higher note, I am almost done with New Moon, the book after Twilight, and Bella is surrounded by royal vampires who want to kill her. =D

Why has it taken me so long to finish New Moon? It hasn't. IT'S THE STUPID STRIKE'S FAULT THAT ALL THE LIBRARIES ARE CLOSED AND MY DAD TOOK SO LONG TO COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT HE HAD TO BUY IT.

This strike has been going on so long, I am beginning to think the citizens did something to upset the city workers and they're out to get us. Seriously.

Either that, or the city is being slowly torn apart by municipal government.

But that's pretty unrealistic.

Moving on, I've been pretty bored lately, even though it's the weekend, and I'm supposed to be like, "OMG LET'S ALL GO TO A MOVIE AND GET CANDY AND POPCORN!!1!!1!" I think it's because school just started, and it hasn't sunk in yet that I'm about to go into a deep depression, and weekends will be the only escape.

Something tells me I'll be appreicating the weekend soon. >.>

Should I stop making new lines for emphasis?

I hope it doesn't look cheesy. D:

Well, last night I had a dream. I don't really know what it was, but all that I can remember was that at some point it was Christmas, and there were /all/ these presents, but I was sad.

I know, it doesn't make any sense. T_T

I can't think of anything else that's significant, other than that it's nice out today, like it has been for so long. Wheee.

GOODBYE, JOE!
And good riddance.

Signing off at last;;

oh noes;;

I didn't update my blog yesterday. Dun dun dunnn.

So, here's the news.

I finished Twilight yesterday.
I think I might need to have an Edward Cullen blog.
Or something.
I must have something dedicated to him.

Maybe I'll dedicate my soul to him.

And today I did the Grouse Grind.
What, you may ask, is that?
Awful, that's what it is. Evil.

It's a hike trail thing. Dx
I'm amazed that my legs aren't falling off.

I thought of Edward the whole time.
He helped me through it.
You must think I'm a freak by now.
But isn't that what blogs are for?
Letting everyone know the truth.

People have the strangest conversations when they're in pain.
"I may look like I'm in good physical shape, but I'm not."
"I don't like Canada any more."
"But I don't wanna have big calves like Mommy!"

Anyway, on the top of Grouse Mountain it is cold, and there are all these stores.
I got ice cream. My mom wondered why. xD

And we went down on this skyride thing that goes on wires.
I was terrified.
Especially when we all of a sudden went on this tower thingy, and all of a sudden we were going like straight down.

"We're approaching one of our two towers now, get ready!"
*we go straight down; it feels really odd*
Everyone inside: Oaooooooooooooooooh.

Google Edward Cullen and Grouse Mountain mmkay?

I mean, if you don't live in Vancouver and/or have never heard of Twilight.

blahblahblah;;

Today was kinda blah. o_O
Well, as you can see, my days are usually blah. xD

Anyways, I spent a lot of the time reading Twilight. I'm at a very suspensful part. =o

And I watched TV.

And I lost my tooth. =DDDDD
It had been bothering me since February. Seriously.
I was just eating a bagel, and it got all weird and it was hanging on by some stupid piece of skin. I always want to cut that piece of skin.
Anyways, I was pulling at it, and blood was everywhere, and it hurt a lot (Really, it did) and my dad was screaming at me, and I was talking all weird because my tooth was hanging. o_o'

But then I told him to go away, and he did, and I sat there, thinking, and I pushed on it with my tongue, and then it just popped out, right it front of me. Rofl.
Then I continued to eat my bagel.

Before I end this post, I'd just like to say that Rock won the poll (in case you haven't noticed) with an astonishing two votes.

*insert post name here*;;

When I was walking off our deck and into the house just a few minutes ago, I wondered what I should do next.

Then I remembered I hadn't done a blog post for today. "Oh, I guess it's time to bother people with things they don't care about."

So I thought...and thought...for nearly five seconds...and then I realized basically all I did today was read.

Well, I did go over to Ada's store to pick up some boxes for moving, but I really don't think you care.

So I walked over to the computer, went to Blogger, logged in, and began writing a blog post.

It said...

aaaaah/twilight;;

I have two pieces of news.

One is that yesterday I bought the book Twilight.
It's so evil. I love it. Rawr.
Go read it now.

www.twilightnovel.com is the site. ;D


The other is that my internet died for a while, last night and this morning.
The computer was acting up too.
I was so scared I wouldn't get to blog, I love blogging. ;D
But then my dad fixed it. Yayness.

I get really scared when our computer gets all weird.
I'm like, OMGOMG I KILLED IT. D:
Luckily, I didn't. B)

At least not this time...

dream;;

Last night I dreamt that I was in this big house with my friends from Maine.
And there was this guy that broke into our house.
He like was bald with a mustache.
And he poked us and we all screamed and ran away.
Then he came and said he would kill us if we didn't steal this park bench.
So we stole the park bench.
And there was this blonde skinny girl with flowers in her hair sitting on the bench when we stole it.
And she screamed.
And then we broke a window and threw the park bench in, and it broke everything.
Then we met the guy's wife, and she turned me into all this stuff.
And then we all were in Hawaii all of a sudden.
The ocean was all pretty and blue on one side, and dark on the other.
And I became best friends with that guy.
Then I saw him exercising on a treadmill.
He was all sweaty.
Also, his head was shaped like a pineapple.

K, that's all I can remember. There's a lot more though.

the ugly shirt of doom;;

So my mom bought that ugly shirt today.
I actually groaned several times and tried to tell her not to buy it.
But now she's going to wear it and embrass herself.
Too bad, Mom. Too bad.


But there's some good news.
She just got a stain on it. :o
Maybe there is some justice in the world.

my legs hurt;;

Wow, I had a long day.

First, we drove to Granville Island in our smelly car (it's actually clean, but the smell of cars makes me sick) and DROVE AROUND IN CIRCLES LOOKING FOR A STUPID PARKING SPOT. Ugh. Why don't we just buy a little grassy area and reserve it especially for us? It would be going through less trouble.

Then my parents finally decided they wouldn't let me faint from hunger, and we got some lunch. We went down near the water and ate, and after that we went down to get on an Aquabus.

An Aquabus is a tiny boat that takes people on less-than-five-minute rides. They're way cool. I wanna drive one, but even if they let me, I would no doubt crash into something and we'd have to break out all those life jackets on the ceiling of the boats.

So we got on it, and we got all squished between the people with their bikes, and by the time my parents paid, we were already there. o_o'

After that, we started to walk downtown, and engaged in an interesting conversation about how everyone can move their toes except for people with paralyzed feet, broken toes, frostbite, or no toes at all.

We went into this glasses store where this person attacked me because she thought I'd break the expensive sunglasses. I wonder if I look like the kind of person who would grab some sunglasses and smash them on everything.

DIE SUNGLASSES DIE!

Then we went into a clothes store, where a song was playing that is on my iPod. Did I mention how many times this happens? It's quite scary, actually.

Btw, why do companies give types of jeans names? What if the jeans are named after someone a person doesn't like? It's like OMG DOSE R MOLLY JEANS I TAKE DAT BACK IM NOT BUYIN DEM!1!1!11! I'd rather have low-rise boot cut jeans, not Zoe ones, people.

Then we went into another store, where my mom said, "Iris, do you like this?" And she held up this SUPER-UGLY PIECE OF CLOTHING. I'm like, "No, I hate it." Total honesty is the key. But she tried it on anyway, and boy, do I hate that thing. It has all these different patterns right next to each other. And it's all big and puffy at the sleeves. Aaaah.

After that, we went to a gelato store. The Hedgehog kind is actually really, really good. I'd change the name though.

Then we walked over the Granville Street bridge, and I was terrified. That whole Minneapolis bridge-collapsing thing just had to happen. As if I wasn't scared of bridges enough already.

When we got back to Granville Island, my legs hurt. A lot. But my mom just had to go into a store to try to find something similar to the Ugly Shirt of Doom for less money. Thank God she didn't find anything.

Then we got into the smelly car and drove home.

There's more after that, but I don't want my fingers to hurt as much as my legs because I typed too much.

a pretty afternoon;;

I guess Bob got over being eaten, 'cause it's nice out now.

Of course, that doesn't mean I'm going outside. Not having a life is fun sometimes. You should try it.

In case you haven't noticed, I re-named the blog. It's shorter and less pathetic now. You can read more about it on Stephanie's blog, which is on my blogroll.

Today wasn't as fun as I wanted it to be. My mom dragged me off to various antique stores, and got mad when I made noises like I was dying.

At least I got a bagel for lunch. Trust me, cream cheese is good, but not when it's all over your face. T_T I bet I looked like I had a beard. *really wants to see that now*

Also, my mom asked this guy in a store how much a few things cost, and they cost too much for us right now. My mom said just that, and the guy like spazzed at her. Seriously. He needs to get some alone time.

Whoa, I just realized how late it is. I've been on here longer than I thought.

P.S. Has anyone ever noticed the example for labeling posts?

"Labels for this post:
e.g. scooters, vacation, fall"

Doesn't sound too pleasant.

good morning, i guess;;

It's the first cloudy morning in ages.
Looks like Bob (I'll explain later) is mad at us.
WHAT DID I DO WRONG??!

Well, at least there's no camp. -.-

Let me tell you about the whole no-camp situation:

K, I would have camp at a community centre, but there's a strike, so CRASHBOOMPOW the community centre's closed.

Still don't understand?

No community centre=no camp.

So here I am, FREE. Free from going on fun field trips, which is what I would be doing if it wasn't for the stupid strike.
Thanks a lot, government.
You just can't pay people enough, can you?

I guess I should explain who Bob is now.
He's the sky.
Well, Bob is actually everything, but mostly the sky.
He was my curly fry for a little while, before I ate it.
Maybe that's why he's mad.
And now it's all miserable outside.

Lmao Bob.

That is just so funny.

soul meets body - death cab for cutie;;

I got this video from agrace on Youtube.

yay for hats;;

Today I ate a hat.

Fine, I didn't.
Excuse me for trying to spice up this blog.

But I did eat:

1 frozen waffle
A little bit of fruit
Some delicious yogurt
Some bread with melted cheese on it
1 cucumber
1 chocolate chip cookie
Ice cream with raspberry drizzle

And I will eat:

Pizza

There you go. Everything I ate today.
Now I shall write something about each thing I ate.

Frozen waffle: What? I love frozen waffles. They're so...cold.

A little bit of fruit: ... It's fruit. Who really cares?

Some delicious yogurt: It's rich-tasting. Yum.

Some bread with melted cheese on it: It's so simple, yet so tasty. o_o

Cucumber: I normally like cucumbers, but this one was weird. Maybe it needed dip.

Chocolate chip cookie: I love cookies. Whee.

Ice cream with raspberry drizzle: Ehh, it's a little boring.

This is what I will eat:

Pizza: My mom's pizza is usually pretty good, but I shouldn't speak too soon. There could be some sort of salt incident.

There. What I ate today.

This video was made by TheMarshKing on Youtube. ;D

posting war;;

Me and my friend Stephanie are having a posting war, so I'll be as active as possible.
And now that I've started a post...

Last night I watched So You Think You Can Dance, which is like my favorite show, other than The Office and stuff.
There were fireworks, but the show's better. xD I know, I'm sad.

SYTYCD is on at 8 on Wednesdays, and 9 on Thursdays. I forgot what channel ^^' Wednesdays the couples dance and stuff and people vote, Thursdays they have the results for who's the the bottom 3 couples, or bottom 4 dancers now. Then the bottom 4 dance solos and two people get eliminated. Or the bottom 3 couples, earlier in the show. I'm too lazy to explain it.

hello everyone;;

I started a blog!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!

{/sarcasm}

I've decided to to a post about yesterday, since I meant to start one then, but I had some technical difficulties. >.>

So here I go:

K, so it's the morning, and I'm just sitting on the couch, minding my own business, writing in my TOP SECRET notebook, and suddenly my dad comes along and is like, "Iris, you better go over to your friend's house NOW."

Alright, so it wasn't really like that, but it sure seemed like it.

Either way, I was going to go over there, so I hid my TOP SECRET notebook and walked over.

When I got there (It's just SUCH an awful experience, walking next door. My legs ached for the rest of the day.) my friend Charlotte said, "C'mon, we're gonna play Restaurant!" Or something like that xD

So we walked upstairs. We played "Restaurant" and ate some popcorn shrimp (Which would be a great name for a band. The Popcorn Shrimp.) and then I left.

I was pretty excited when I got home, 'cause we were going back-to-school shopping. I'm not like crazy about shopping, but it's kinda fun. ;D My mom had just got out of the shower, and she was all drippylike. She told me to go get directions to the mall, so I went downstairs to this very computer and asked my dad if he would get directions.

Apparently getting directions to a mall is way harder than it looks. First we had to figure out which mall was closer, which took 10 minutes because me and my dad had different ideas on how to do it.

Dad: I'm trying to make this map bigger!!
Me: Just get directions for both malls and we can see which is closer.
Dad: NOOO!! *clicks "click for larger image" button madly*

In the end, my idea worked. B)

Anyways, my mom was ready (FINALLY. She takes so long...) and we got on our shoes and left. Dad stayed at home, working on the computer, as always.

I sat in the back of our car, being incredibly bored. Stupid traffic...

Well, in case you were wondering, we did get there. I didn't die in the backseat. When we drove into Burnaby, we searched for Metrotown Centre, which is supposed to be a big mall with 150 stores or something.

Instead of going to Metrotown Centre, we stopped at another place. Metropolis At Metrotown. My mom said, "Hey, why not give this a try?" I said okay, and we drove into the garage.

Obviously, we didn't think to look up, because they weren't joking when they named this place. It's, like, a city. I'm not even kidding. Those buildings are way taller then the apartment buildings next to the mall. It has 470 shops. T_T

May I ask a simple question here?

WHOSE IDEA WAS IT TO MAKE A SMALL CITY OUT OF A MALL??

AND WHY DID THEY SPEND ALL THAT MONEY TO MAKE HUGE, PROBABLY EMPTY BUILDINGS??

WHY DIDN'T THEY USE THE MONEY TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL, LIKE END WORLD HUNGER??

GOD PEOPLE!!!!!! YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE GUYS HAVE TO WEAR ROLLER SKATES!!! (No, seriously. How do people stay in one place with those things, anyway?)

{/rant}

Well, after we parked the car (nice try, but free parking isn't changing my mind about this place) me and my mom went up two escalators, onto the upper floor or something like that, and we entered Old Navy.

We got A LOT OF CLOTHES to try on. It took a long time, and I didn't even try everything on O_O
I got some nice T-shirts, and some other stuff...

After that, my mom dragged me off to Gap, although I was pretty much tired of clothes shopping by then. Then she looked at some stores, all of which I find quite boring (why does she only like brown?) and then we left. This time, I just got into a comfortable position, and practically fell asleep. I kept thinking I was home, and then I was like, Then why am I lying here? and I realized I was in the car o_o

When we got home, I was VERY hungry. Luckily my mom had made her famous stew...

Finally signing off here,
